Crazy offense on Tuesday night, eh (recap | boxscore)? Eighteen runs at Petco Park — it’s like I’ve been saying all along, they need to move the fences in to stimulate more scoring. Did I mention that the Padres own the National League’s best record? First off, props to the Orioles for not quitting at [...]

Ah, it’s nice to win a series again. This calls for some links… Germano’s savvy outing baffles Rays (North County Times). I’m finding my skepticism of Justin Germano increasingly difficult to justify. I love this quote from Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon: Just get the Padres pitchers out of town. They can go wherever they [...]
Bumps in the Road
Quiet. Did you hear that? It’s the sound of people jumping off the Padres bandwagon. You know, because three games always provides an accurate representation of 162 games. I heard the jumpers. They were screaming the whole way down; it was kind of pathetic, really. Oh well, I’m sure they’ll crawl back onboard after the [...]
Monthly Roundtable: May 2007 (Part 1)
Last month we introduced a monthly roundtable in which several Padres bloggers offered their thoughts on the team. The response was so positive that we’re doing it a second time. Participants this month include Anthony Trifiletti (Friar Watch), Peter Friberg (various; currently covering prospects here at Ducksnorts under the title “Padres Prospect Report”), Jim Higgins [...]

Wells’ Best Not Good Enough
David Wells pitched about as well as he possibly could on Tuesday night (recap | box score). He hit his spots, mixed his pitches, and threw strikes 72% of the time. You can’t ask for anything more from the guy. A weak bloop double in the sixth off the bat of Ryan Freel got the [...]

Before we get to all the good stuff everyone else is doing, I have to call my own number and let you know about my latest article at The Hardball Times, in which we discover that Adrian Gonzalez is real good. Yeah, you and I already knew that, but the rest of the world needs [...]
Four in Atlanta, Unsolicited Roster Suggestions
Went to Vegas over the weekend. Thought about betting on some baseball games, but the return on investment is terrible. Hard to justify laying down an upper-deck ticket for a 60% chance of winning a bag of peanuts. Mutual funds would be better, but I couldn’t find any at the sports book. Meanwhile, down in [...]
Padres Drop Finale in LA, Hope Chicago Is Their Kind of Town
Strange series up at Dodger Stadium over the weekend. I expected tighter contests. Instead, one team’s starting pitcher failed to show up in each of the three games. Unfortunately for the Padres, it was their guy in two of those three. Sunday evening’s victim, Chris Young, never looked comfortable and needed 84 pitches to record [...]
Padres Fall Short in Comeback, Young Signs Long-Term Deal
Once again, there isn’t a lot of quit in this team and I like that. After spotting the Giants a 6-0 lead, the Padres darned near came back and won on Tuesday night (recap | box score). If not for a bizarre second inning that saw Marcus Giles muff a grounder, Mike Cameron lose a [...]
